What phone will the rest of you switch too?
- Not really. You cant seem to compare one smartphone to another. You want this food to phone comparison which i have argued is not a real comparison. the reason for the purchase is completely different. If you take the 4 OS's available it is clear who is the most popular and why. BB is dead. has been since 2007. Winphones, MS has the ability to throw money at it for a long time. I dont know much about it so I cant really speak to its function. That leaves two Android, and iOS. iOS is on a single manufactures phone and based on that it has the largest customer base. It is arguably the most expensive phone with the Priv coming in second. I'll stand by my original post
.
BB didn't die in 2007, I purchased a PassPort in 2014. Unless you are indicating that the PassPort is a Zombie.01-06-16 09:54 AMLike 0 -

The Vienna has the potential to increase sales sufficiently to make their production goal. Hopefully the phone will neither be too tall or too wide.01-06-16 10:01 AMLike 0 - All I want is the Priv to be price around $550 and I'll try it out. I'd go for a S6 Edge but it doesn't have a keyboard and doesn't have any BB software either..

I am really optimistic about BB making a quality Android device with a nice set of email and other tools but not too much bloat to differentiate themselves from Samsung in the Android market. I think such a device could sell really well if priced aggressively.01-06-16 11:19 AMLike 0

The market determines winners and losers, but that doesn't mean the market is smart about it. Apple had first mover advantage and created a network effect for its ecosystem. Android was a fast follower with an excellent distribution strategy and Google's deep pockets. Blackberry was too late to the party and could not turn either incumbency or security certifications into a strategic advantage. That pretty much explains the market share issue.
Since very few people have even tried (or know about) BB10, it's just silly to say that the market has "chosen" the best OS. Popular is a fact, but it doesn't prove superiority in anything.

The supplier vendors are getting order cuts and the iPhone is simply not selling as it once was. It's reign is just about over. I actually think any high priced mobile device is not long. The Chinese are coming full bore this year with unlocked, high spec'd, affordable devices. ASUS has a hell of good value Android and now Windows 10 device. Unless a device has a real stand out feature(s) or a niche good luck. The days of high priced, carrier subsidized devices is quickly coming to an end. Saturation is also real. I'll stick with my myriad of BlackBerry 10 devices. They all work exceptionally well for me and my needs.

BB10 was nice but I have seen the writing on the wall with the Priv and I will not be left holding the bag again (Playbook). Still have a Classic work phone.

AAPL can be brought low by a sketchy rumor of supply chain cuts. Meanwhile, Apple continues to make products that the rest of the industry seems to want to duplicate. Look no further than the new laptops announced by LG, Lenovo, and HP at CES.01-07-16 10:32 AMLike 0
- What is Apple's market share in the laptop and desktop realm? 16 percent or less last time I read. The cheaper can do the same thing options hand them their asses. What is their once high tablet market looking like? That graph I assure you is not what anyone in Apple is pleased with. The iPhone's heyday and high costs (like all "Flagships") are soon coming to an end. I don't think you are considering saturation. There is not much a '13 device cannot do that a '16 can. It maybe a bit faster but that's really about it for the average consumer. Mobile phone sales (overall) are factually slowing.

Perhaps innovation in the mobile realm is played out. Until then iphone and the vast majority of all touch slabs are all very similar.

All have a decent camera, nice glass, good screen quality, fast enough processor for all but the spec hungry and OS's that are improving with each update. (this is the saturation effect) I think BlackBerry would be real smart to continue to leverage their security and phenomenal PKB's in subsequent devices irrespective of OS. I do hope they keep and maintain BlackBerry 10 as Chen noted. As loyalists (speaking for my wife and myself) and having other OS's on our tablets (Android) for entertainment or laptops and desktops (Win 10) we could not fathom any other mobile OS for our business mobile phone needs. I bought us a couple new, unlocked Z30's last Thanksgiving and I asked my wife just the other day "would you like the new Android BlackBerry Priv or any other new device?" Her response "Hell no, why would I? My phone works great and has only gotten better with updates."

- I'd probably go to Priv. I ran Android on my HP touchpad and it wasn't bad. I got to have a keyboard.
I also think as time goes on, Google will adopt some of the BB10 features we like since they are partnering with BlackBerry on some things. Google isn't dumb and can see what features are better.
A year from now the Priv will be much more smooth just as BB10 didn't really get going until 10.2.1.
